Very neat indeed, and like you say, a sentiment that reverberates down to every seagoing person.
As a lifelong Leftist (with a historical perspective that lands me - where? if not on either Wing, how 'bout the fuselage?), I enjoyed my State Department buddy's take on Bush 41:
"Sure, you didn't hear much about the CIA when HW was heading it...but in the Intelligence business, the less you hear, the more's going right!"
After that, I gotta share his assessment of W:
"Look, nobody gets through Yale on just bucks and influence. I think he was a smart guy, born into the wrong family."
They say it takes 50 years for History to judge a man. I choose to wait. It's more fun that way, anyway.
